Carragher said, ‘i feel a little sorry for him because this move seems to have come a little too early for him.’ “i think he was signed from atalanta in the summer, and then united,” she said. I feel sorry for him, he doesn’t get much help at all. I feel for him. We all know that time is a must, but that doesn’t happen when you’re in the best clubs.
